This kind of dawned on me between reading the column Mike Silver wrote about him, as well as kearly's footnote that he would like to see us keep Marshawn next season..
Pretty much everyone that remotely follows the Seahawks knows this is likely Marshawn's last season in Seattle under his current contract. And if the fans know that, you know damn well that Marshawn Lynch knows that.
You know what motivates a player more than anything in this game today?
The illustrious "contract year."
You see it every year in sports, but especially football.. when a player is about to become a Free Agent, they have an outstanding and many times a career season.
Remember the fears that a holdout would create complacency from Lynch? That he'd show up out of shape.. that all the tread on his tires would start to surface. That Christine Michael would emerge as the #1 back as 2015 drew closer.
Well.. Christine Michael may well be the #1 RB a year from now.. but Marshawn Lynch is going to make sure he gets paid by someone next year.. and the best way to do that is to show up in the best shape of your life (check), and have the best year of your career.
This is going to be a fun year..
